Orchid of the day: Phalaenopsis parishii

Phalaenopsis parishii


We posted about our Phalaenopsis parishii in June last year and it looks like this orchid is happy and is flowering at almost the same time this year. 

A) April 17. At least 4 flower stems were detected.

B) View of the 4 stems from the top.

This miniature orchid is native to regions from Eastern Himalaya to Indochina and thrive in hot to warm environment. Since this orchid prefers dry condition in nature, Arne limits watering it during winter. This may be the secret to its success in our hands. 


C) May 26. We have at least 25 flowers in bloom.

D) A close-up.

E) Just to prove that this is a miniature orchid...
